INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS
FOR POWER UTILITY AUTOMATION –
Part 7-2: Basic information and communication structure –
Abstract communication service interface (ACSI)
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61850-7-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57:
Power systems management and associated information exchange.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This document is part of a set of definitions which details a layered utility communication
architecture. This architecture has been chosen to provide abstract definitions of classes and
services such that the definitions are independent of specific protocol stacks, implementations,
and operating systems.
The IEC 61850 series is intended to provide interoperability between a variety of devices.
Communication between these devices is achieved by the definition of a hierarchical class
model (for example, logical device, logical node, data, data set, report control, or log) and
services provided by these classes (for example, get, set, report, define, delete) in IEC 618507-x.
This part of IEC 61850 defines the abstract communication service interface (ACSI) for use in
the utility application domain that requires real-time cooperation of intelligent electronic
devices. The ACSI has been defined so as to be independent of the underlying communication
systems. Specific communication service mappings 1) (SCSM) are specified in IEC 61850-8-x
and IEC 61850-9-x.
This part of IEC 61850 defines the abstract communication service interface in terms of
–
a hierarchical class model of all information that can be accessed via a communication
network,
–
services that operate on these classes, and
–
parameters associated with each service.
The ACSI description technique abstracts away from all the different approaches to implement
the cooperation of the various devices.
NOTE 1 Abstraction in ACSI has two meanings. First, only those aspects of a real device (for example, a breaker)
or a real function that are visible and accessible over a communication network are modelled. This abstraction
leads to the hierarchical class models and their behaviour defined in IEC 61850-7-2, IEC 61850-7-3, and
IEC 61850-7-4. Second, the ACSI abstracts from the aspect of concrete definitions on how the devices exchange
information; only a conceptual cooperation is defined. The concrete information exchange is defined in the SCSMs.
NOTE 2 This part of IEC 61850 does not provide comprehensive tutorial material. It is recommended that
IEC 61850-5 and IEC 61850-7-1 be read first in conjunction with IEC 61850-7-2 and IEC 61850-7-3.
NOTE 3 Examples use names of classes (for example XCBR for a class of a logical node) defined in
IEC 61850-7-4 and IEC 61850-7-3. The normative names are defined in IEC 61850-7-4 and IEC 61850-7-3 only.

1) The ACSI is independent of the specific mapping. Mappings to standard application layers or middle ware
technologies are possible.

COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS
FOR POWER UTILITY AUTOMATION –
Part 7-2: Basic information and communication structure –
Abstract communication service interface (ACSI)
1
Scope
This part of IEC 61850 applies to the ACSI communication for utility automation. The ACSI
provides the following abstract communication service interfaces.
a) Abstract interface describing communications between a client and a remote server for
–
real-time data access and retrieval,
–
device control,
–
event reporting and logging,
–
setting group control,
–
self-description of devices (device data dictionary),
–
data typing and discovery of data types, and
–
file transfer.
b) Abstract interface for fast and reliable system-wide event distribution between an application in one device and many remote applications in different devices (publisher/sub-scriber)
and for transmission of sampled measured values (publisher/subscriber).

Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions provided in IEC 61850-2 and the
following apply.
3.1
class
description of a set of objects that share the same attributes, services, relationships, and
semantics
3.2
client
entity that requests a service from a server and that receives unsolicited messages from
a server
3.3
device
entity that performs control, actuating and/or sensing functions and interfaces to other such
entities within an automation system
NOTE
Devices alone do not perform energy generation, transport, or distribution functions.
3.4
external equipment
entity that is stand-alone, or interfaces to an automation system, and that performs energy
generation, transport, or distribution functions
EXAMPLE
NOTE 1
Transformer, circuit-breaker, line.
Equipment can contain devices.
NOTE 2 Equipment cannot have a direct connection to the communication network – only devices can be directly
connected to the communication network.
3.5
instance (of a class)
entity that has unique identity, to which a set of services can be applied, and which has a state
that stores the effects of the services
NOTE
Instance is a synonym for the term object.
